John Kim 
In 1984, a sinewy shooting guard from the Dean Smith-led UNC Tar Heels was selected third overall by the Chicago Bulls in the NBA Draft. The daring red and jet black was in unison with his scowling demeanor and Geschichte arrogance, but it was a disarming, boyish smile that forced the league’s collective guard down, leaving it vulnerable to attack from any vantage point. It was too late by the time the league figured out who Michael Jordan really was, and it paid dearly; six NBA Championships, ten straight scoring titles in full seasons, five MVP trophies, and shelves full of other trophies were conceded to one man who created an unreasonable standard for NBA players both during his time and for the years to come.
With him throughout the will journey was Nike; after a meeting with founder Phil Knight, Jordan joined in and the sports-apparel brand designed a signature shoe that created league-wide disapproval from both Jordan’s on-court peers and the NBA brass up top. “Wear it in a game, and you’ll pay”, said the league, and pay they did. Five-thousand a game. “Who do you think you are? You’re not getting the ball” said his All-Star teammates. Michael answered back by playing in every All-Star Game for every full season he participated in. The Air Jordan 1 was the perfect shoe for the perfect rebel; although Jordan himself did not like the original black and red colorway of the Air Jordan 1, as it reminded him of ‘the devil’, he defied league rules along with the laws of gravity and created an unbreakable foundation for his own Legacy.
